Abstract :
A Watson-Crick automaton is introduced as a computational model of DNA computing framework. In this paper, we introduce a 3-head reverse Watson-Crick finite automaton having three read-only heads but no sensing power. We show that the class of 3-head reverse Watson-Crick finite automata includes the class of simple sticker language and full reading sensing 5´->;3´ Watson-Crick finite automata.
